How to Set Up and Use Replicate

The mcp-replicate server connects your AI assistant to Replicate's cloud platform, giving it the ability to search Replicate's model library, create and monitor predictions, view generated images, and manage prediction lifecycle — all through natural language. It is useful for developers who want to run image generation, video, audio, or other ML model predictions from within their AI workflow without switching to the Replicate web UI or writing API calls manually.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or later (for npx / global npm install)
  • A Replicate account and API token (create at replicate.com → Account Settings → API Tokens)
  • An MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline
  • The REPLICATE_API_TOKEN environment variable set to your token
1

Get your Replicate API token

Sign in at replicate.com, go to Account Settings → API Tokens, and create a new token. Copy it — you will need it in the MCP config.

2

Install mcp-replicate globally (optional)

You can install the package globally so it is available as a binary, or use npx to run it without installing. The global install approach is shown here.

npm install -g mcp-replicate
3

Configure your MCP client

Add the replicate server to your MCP client config. Set REPLICATE_API_TOKEN to your actual token. If you used the global install, the command is 'mcp-replicate'; for npx use the npx form shown.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "replicate": {
      "command": "mcp-replicate",
      "env": {
        "REPLICATE_API_TOKEN": "r8_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}
4

Restart your MCP client

Restart Claude Desktop or your chosen client to load the new server configuration. The AI should now have access to Replicate model and prediction tools.

5

Test by searching for a model

Ask your AI assistant to search for an image generation model on Replicate to confirm the integration is working.

Replicate Examples

Client configuration

Claude Desktop configuration using mcp-replicate with a Replicate API token.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "replicate": {
      "command": "mcp-replicate",
      "env": {
        "REPLICATE_API_TOKEN": "r8_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Use natural language to interact with Replicate models and predictions through your AI assistant.

- "Search Replicate for the best text-to-image models"
- "Run a prediction with stability-ai/stable-diffusion using the prompt 'a sunset over mountain peaks'"
- "List my recent predictions on Replicate and show their status"
- "Show me the available collections of models on Replicate"
- "Cancel the prediction with ID xyz123 on Replicate"

Troubleshooting Replicate

Authentication error or 401 Unauthorized

Verify REPLICATE_API_TOKEN is set correctly in the env block of your MCP config. The token should start with r8_. You can test it with: curl -H 'Authorization: Token r8_your_token' https://api.replicate.com/v1/account

Prediction times out or stays in 'starting' state

Replicate cold-starts GPU instances for some models, which can take 30-120 seconds. Use the create_and_poll_prediction tool (or ask the AI to poll for results) rather than create_prediction alone if you want the AI to wait for completion automatically.

mcp-replicate command not found after global install

Ensure npm's global bin directory is on your PATH. Check with: npm bin -g. Add that directory to your shell's PATH, or use the npx form in the MCP config: "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-replicate"].
